God that was incredible when Vincent laid down next to him, not only because it's amazingly heartwarming, but because it totally goes with the mirroring of the first shot of the show.
Seeing that plane leaving too.

That last scene really is worth every ounce of anticipation.

No. It was pretty much just the 815 survivors, and Penny and Desmond.

I looked around to see a little feedback and I saw a lot of positive, and of course some negative.
I think overall it will have a stronger approval than probably expected for a finale, but there's obviously going to be a ton of haters. That's just life.

A big complaint I see is that it was emotionally satisfying but not intellectually satisfying, or some shit to that effect.
I don't really get it. That's not the point of the final part of a story. It should leave us feeling satisfied on an emotional level with the characters.
If there were more big intellectual issues, it would mean more big questions. Isn't that what they didn't want?

There's been plenty of intellectual reward and content all along. There's so much to talk about there.
Just because the finale isn't getting bogged down in that shit doesn't mean it's not also there.

I don't get it. Those people have driven me crazy for a while anyways. I don't think they're really as into what the show is really about, as much as they are the scientific/theoretical side and the idea of getting answers.
That stuff is all a big part of what makes the show great, but it's not really what storytelling is all about, or at the core of this story.

I'm glad I liked it, and seemingly all of you guys who discuss it with me on here.

Yeah most people that didn't enjoy it seem to be complaining that we got no answers to stuff like how it was possible for the likes of Jacob, Hurley, Walt, Miles etc to possess special gifts and also the origin of the light.

But the way I see it, people didn't complaing about how it wasn't possible for vampires to actually exist in Buffy, or how it would be unrealistic for Dr Who to do, well everything he does. So they shouldn't really complain about this.

I'm not even sure if that made any sense, I've been awake now for about 30 hours so I'm pretty tired.

That is because these shows take place in their own universe. You accept that Doctor Who can time travel and do the shit he does because those are the rules for that tv show's universe. If all of a sudden Buffy turned into some flying superhero, it wouldn't fit into that universe. The special gifts are part of the Lost universe, but we understand why the Doctor does what he does.

But it was still kinda obviously the same stretch of beach with the wreckage for the most part laid out the same.

Though I see your point where if you weren't really paying attention you may not have noticed

Exactly Igni. People never question that stuff in other things because they aren't so dialed into this false sense of deserving an answer for everything.
Supernatural is supernatural, and a little mystery is what makes that a compelling thing. If it wasn't that way, it would just be plain natural.
But they gave us plenty. I've been satisfied with the show from that angle for a couple weeks now. I just wanted to see how the final act of the story ended, and what happened with the characters.

If the finale was a shooting gallery of needless answers, it may have pleased a lot of people in the moment, but later set in as unfulfilling.
In the days, weeks and years that followed people would eventually realize that stuff only matters so much, and that there will always be more questions.
There'd be a void for a more rewarding and complete emotional closure.
The show had the sense to give that, because that's really what it's always been about anyways.

It's not like they didn't deal with the big questions either. They were just dealt with at earlier points in the season. That's still there, it just isn't in the design of the finale.
It was incredibly smart to wrap that aspect of the show up a couple weeks ago, and shift complete focus to the story and characters.

Oh shit yeah just remembered. At the very start of the episode it came up on my screen saying "Sorry there are technical difficulties". I stood up and was about to destroy something within range when it came on as normal after about 3 seconds.

Also over here in the UK, in between each flash from island time to flash sideways (should we really be calling it this now?) time it would come up saying "This is a live simulcast from the US" lol

Honestly wasn't sure how I felt about the finale when it happened. I was left sitting there with a kind of 'empty' feeling, because it was all happening so fast and I couldn't grasp it all right then. Also, the show was ending. But after letting it sink in, I am finding it to be a fantastic ending to the series.

This

The more I think about it, the more I think that this was one of the most clever season finale's ever.

We've spent 6 years talking about our own opinions about what the Island is, etc. I think we've got enough about the island, but I also think it leaves so much "unanswered" that it allows you to keep your own opinions on what has been going on, what everyone is, etc.

Beautiful!

I was enjoying the island timeline immensely, but kind of scratching my head at the alt universe. I kept waiting for how it would end on that side.
Then came the scene in the room with the coffin. That was surreal. At that point I realized how great it was, and it all came together with the other stuff on the island.
Like I said earlier, when Jack stumbled into the bamboo I saw where that was going and I was just in awe.

Pretty sure at some point during these 6 years EVERYONE knew it would end like it did in that final scene, I just don't think anyone would've thought it'd be set up to come off so powerfully.

How often is the last scene of a show the greatest scene of a show? Especially a show this great?

It's obviously debatable, but I feel the final scene is the greatest moment in the show's history. I probably thought "We have to go back" was until tonight.

I'm firmly in the camp that calls it one of the greatest endings to a show ever. They didn't explain a lot but at the end of it I didn't want them to, it was about the characters and their journeys and what an incredible journey it was, I honestly don't think a show will ever come close to doing what Lost has done for a long time.

The producers said they wanted the show to end where the viewer felt the story was wrapped up, but the meaning was left to the viewer's own interpretation. If that was the goal of the people making the show, I don't think there's any question that they pulled it off perfectly.

The people who hated the finale are the people who watched the show firmly for the mysteries of the Island. The mysteries and strange connections are what drew me in to the show, but I would never have kept watching or cared if not for the characters I was watching.

The journey of those characters was completed in a conclusive manner, especially Jack's tale.

I only really started posting alot in this thread during this season, which is too bad because this is the best place I found to discuss the show.

Glad so many of you enjoyed the ending.

I liked the finale.

though after thinking on i, I firmly do not believe this was the plan from day 1 (or at least many things changed) and the show was written as they go. Which is fine, but they like to play up the "we knew all along shit".

I still cant get over the idea that Jacob brought everone to the island as candidates and watched for 5 seasons while HIS PEOPLE continually tried to kill his candidates and allow them to leave only to come back in time etc.

I liked the ending, but i can see some frustration as they dropped so many elements and stories over the seasons.

And I love how in season one, most people were calling the Island as Purgatory, or the afterlife, and the producers were all " No, The ISLAND isnt" *grins*

totally fucking hilarious to me.

I was overcome with happiness over how the show ended, but some sadness too realizing the show is over. I loved how every character was awakened by the most important things in their lives, especially Jin and Sun and Sawyer and Juliet.

Yeah, but I thought it was interesting that Sayid awoke with Shannon who he basically had a fling with on the island instead of Nadia.

One interpretation of the ending where Sayid and Shannon end up together is that it's Jack's heaven, so it includes everyone that was around for the most important part of his life. Since Jack never knew Nadia it seems to make the most sense that Sayid and Shannon reunite if this interpretation is true. In Sayid's heaven he should be with Nadia.

I believe it had to do with their true loves. Who they were destined to be with. That's why Jack never had a flashback with Juliet even though they'd been married and saw each other all the time. They weren't meant to be together. Jack and Kate were meant to be together, Sawyer and Juliet were together, Sayid and Shannon, Hurley and Libby, Claire and Charlie.

Edit: Also, Christian said THEY created this place so they could meet up. Not just Jack.
